How to read an XML File

Question

I have a VB.net program. I\'m attempting to use XMLReader to read a .xml file. I want to break the XML File up to organize it into different \"Sections\" In this example

Answer 1

Using XDocument is more efficient for reading Xml and also more readable due to less syntax.

You need to add a root to your XML. I called it root, but it can be anything. It just encapsultes all of your XML

    Form Test


    Button Test

Here is an example of pulling the "Form Test" from FormTitle

    Dim document As XDocument = XDocument.Load("c:\tmp\test.xml")
    Dim title = From t In document.Descendants("FormTitle") Select t.Value

assign text to form

Form1.Text = title.First()
